What Does Normal Healing Look Like After A Tooth Extraction | OnlineExodontia.com 

Exactly

I thought this . No visual as to what the socket should look like

I had to give a dislike

Exactly what I was thinking

I know what you mean I don’t know if mines ok or not and nothing in the internet is helping and my private dentist didn’t really explain anything

Exactly!!!

RU-vid

I know, right?

I've been looking all over for helpful pics of this, but can't find any. It's frustrating.

Same here 😂😂​@@dreadcthulhu5

Me too!!!!

Whata U in the 3rd grade ?? Pictures really . Just listen to what the man says !!!

@@mammoth123. stfu

lol than you came to the Wrong place for this here respectfully. if you wanna see the actual pictures and video get in the course you will see all of it...

I think this video should be taken down because clearly there's a picture in the preview and I too was depending on pictures, seems not even Google is helpful and straightforward, so when this video promised pictures and what I needed, I too was let down by this dentist's Dunning-Kruger cognitive bias assuming we know what they're talking about without helpful pictures you, me, and everybody can check to see if we have a blood clot or dry socket.

Thank you for the kind words! All the best!

No pain is a good sign and it sounds like you're doing well in your recovery. Not sure what to make of the thing that popped out, but I'm assuming you'll hear good news at your post-op check. All the best to you!

Bro please answer me this! Was that good? That just happened to me and I am panicking. No pain when it popped out either. Im scared

@@Tastefuljoy how are you now?

@@Tastefuljoy could it have been the sutures ??

@@Tastefuljoy hey man that literally just happened to me on my top left side after i sneezed. no pain just this white formation thing and no blood. should i worry?

If you’re on a proper antibiotic and the swelling / symptoms remain as they are I wouldn’t be too concerned. Certainly best to contact your provider sooner than later if you notice any changes. All the best!

May - sounds like you're doing well from what I gather in your description. It's not uncommon for a difficult extraction to be painful for an extended period while healing. The good news is that the mouth is one of the most forgiving places of our body in terms of healing potential. It's always wet which helps and it's quite vascular. Assuming you're healthy and you don't develop fever, swelling, or an increased level of pain from here moving forwards, you should be ok! All the best!

Online Exodontia Thank you, this really made me feel a lot less worried.

@@mayah6229 hi May just curious, did everything work out ok? Or did you develop dry socket?

@Online Exodontia I have concerns about an tooth extraction 6 days ago. It has a dark Mossy look which have me concern if its infected or will it infect the other teeth

What If the pain is migrating to brain and nose

how long did you have any discomfort after the extraction?

no discomfort once the tooth and root were removed. Be very gentle after the socket clots as you DO NOT want to break the blood clot loose. No strenuous exercises, jumping, running, or any violent motion that will break the clot loose. Eat soft foods and no chewing on that side of the mouth. Most definitely purchase some table salt and fill an 8 ounce cup with warm, not hot water and add a tablespoonful of salt to the water to make a rinse that you take a mouthful and GENTLY swish the salt water in your mouth for minutes 3 times a day. This will promote healing and kill harmful bacteria that can cause infection to start. It takes 4-6 weeks for healing to take place.@@abraham5554

@@abraham5554 no

Can I ask when did your gum swelling stop? Ty for your response if ever

Xenia - this does not sound normal at all and I would advise seeking some care as soon as possible to find out why you're still having symptoms. This could certainly still be infection that is causing your discomfort. All the best!

How long did it take you to recover ?

Ha tell me about it lol!

same here with that weird white stuff, did it end up going away? when were you able to eat normal food?

How are you now Tiffany?? I just had a molar out upper right!! Did u get dry socket?

@@shylosoulstar8068 I’m fine thank you! It was a while ago at this point. Thankfully I did not get dry socket, I was so paranoid about it because I stupidly googled it & saw how awful it is. But as long as you follow directions everything should be fine.

@@tiffanypriore9220 Tiffany can you give more insight. I’m on day 6 of my back molar (non wisdom). The white surface did come off for me while I was gently rinsing with salt water. Just wondering about dry socket myself. That occurred this morning. It doesn’t hurt but it feels, different… idk if that makes sense

@@lance1692 what was it and how are you?

I had a molar tooth extraction yesterday. I am paranoid of dry socket as well. I am an anxious person and healing makes me more anxious and depressed. Oh did I mention that I have a three month old baby? So I feel tired all the time and I don’t know how long is the pain and soreness expected to last.

My guess is that it's just the bone under the tooth that was removed. Often retained baby teeth have little to no root left and can be fused onto the bone. This should fill in with tissue over time. Not sure what to say about the popping sound. I wish you all the best!

@@OnlineExodontia thank you very much for your response!

12 hours ago and your already worrying 😟. Get a grip if your face turns mouldy and maggots crawl out your mouth at 3 weeks then perhaps worry. 🤔

At this point in time, a bad taste is generally not too alarming and swelling can persist for 48-72 hours. if swelling gets worse after that time, or you develop a fever, difficulty opening, or see pus coming from the site, it’s recommended that you see your dentist. what I tell patients at your stage of healing is that their symptoms should either stay the same or be improving each day. If that’s the case, generally you’re doing okay and all is well. I wish you the best!

Bad tastes are common and sometimes can be from food that is starting to accumulate and become stagnant in the sockets back there. Keep in mind that under the gum (even though it looks like a little hole on top) there is quite a void underneath. You could visit your dentist again and have them provide an irrigating syringe to help rinse the sockets. Bad tastes can sometimes be associated with infection as well so keep an eye out for any pus coming out from the socket, or swelling that comes back in the area. All the best!

@@OnlineExodontia what should we use in the irrigation syringe? Is there a liquid antibiotic we can purchase or would salt water do the trick?

@@jesuswasasalesman Salt water a couple times per day is perfect!

That’s more than likely the bruise from them numbing your mouth.

Yes, tissue that is healing will often have a greyish/yellow colour in the first few weeks.

@@OnlineExodontia Thank you! I’m also noticing this from my extraction and was worried that it was infected! Happy to know that it is normal to look up! Can I ask what is supposed to look like when it is infected?

@@SSM654 Heat, Pain, Redness, Swelling, Pus - those are things to watch for. Sometimes may develop a fever or a bad taste as well.

Hello! I would continue to try to get in touch with the surgeon, however if the lump is hard sometimes you're feeling the edge of the bony tooth socket under the gum. This often becomes more noticeable once the tooth is removed and eventually will smooth out and disappear. Hard for me to say, but what you're describing is what many patients say who have that same problem. All the best!

Did you ever find out about this?

most likely granulation tissue which is a good sign you are healing properly

Steezy - Yes, all extractions are accompanied by some degree of pain. This generally should be manageable with over the counter medications. If it's worse than that, you should consider contacting your dentist and perhaps they can advise as to whether a stronger medication may be needed for a few days until the healing gets underway. All the best!

Same

Orxl - sometimes there are small bone chips that will work themselves out from the socket. 27 days is a long time and I would expect the site to look somewhat improved from day 1. Probably best to contact you dentist. All the best to you!

If you mean just a couple days ago, then yes generally some yellowish tissue is normal and a sign of healing. If it's yellow liquid oozing out, that's a different story and can be a sign of infection. All the best!

Sounds like all is well to me from your description. Whitish material over the extraction site is normal and will become more pronounced with time until it eventually heals. The big thing is to just leave those areas alone and make sure your symptoms are gradually improving. If there are changes where you have swelling, more pain, etc then contact your provider. All the best!

Depends Charlie - if it's loose, and a bit larger like you say it's best to have it removed. If attached and very bothersome, same thing. When they're smaller they will eventually fall out over time with minimal discomfort. Always best to follow-up with your provider as they'll be able to know best once they see you. All the best!

I know this post was a year ago, but I figured I would respond for anyone else reading it now who is going through the same thing. I actually had an issue very similar to what you explained. I had a top left molar pulled and I was in severe pain almost two weeks after having the extraction. I could feel something sharp sticking out and I thought it was a piece of tooth that was left by mistake. I also could feel a lot of pressure at the top of my gums and when I felt it with my tongue, it felt like some of the dissolving stitches were possibly stuck to my cheek and causing that pressure because it was pulling on the gums. I saw online it was sometimes common for tiny pieces of a tooth to remain but fall out on their own and I kept pushing it off and hoping that was the case. When it wasn’t getting any better, I finally decided to go back to my dentist and it’s a good thing I did. He found a really tiny piece of bone that had somehow gotten stuck and was causing the pain because it was keeping it from healing. It was so tiny, my dentist even had a hard time seeing it at first, but it still caused a lot of pain. As soon as he flushed out the site, found it, and removed the loose piece of bone, the pressure immediately went away. He told me to give it another 4-5 days for the pain to go away and to continue my antibiotics. He also suggested doing the salt water rinse for two more weeks. It’s been about two weeks since then and it’s slowly healing, but I haven’t been in pain since about four days after he got the piece of bone out. TLDR, So, lesson learned from me: Don’t push it off and think it will get better. It’s always safer to get it checked out, just in case. If I didn’t, I would have continued to be in a lot of pain and it would never have healed correctly.

@@Sweetmuffins0018 Hey, from what I can remember I think I stupidly pulled them out myself 🤦‍♀️ I know I shouldn't of but after I felt so much better and it started to heal much quicker too 😂 Lesson learned though I will never do that again 🤦‍♀️😂

Alexcia - I wouldn't be too concerned. Spitting a couple times in theory could dislodge the blood clot, but in reality I imagine you have done no harm. Also it is next to impossible to keep saliva out of an extraction socket as your mouth is constantly bathed in it. The saliva will not interfere with the healing process. All the best to you!

@@OnlineExodontia Thank you, I felt some of my nerves dissipate after reading this.

@@OnlineExodontia hey doc sorry to bother you again but I just noticed something. The hole in my mouth started bleeding again, does this means that my blood clot has broken down?

@@alexciaxa5875 it’s normal for it to bleed Mine only been bleeding for 5 days then it stopped

Sarah, this is fairly common and the socket heals from the base upward. It's not super common to get an infection or have trouble healing once you're this far in. You're doing the right thing by keeping it clean. The dentist could perhaps provide you with a syringe that can be used to irrigate the site more easily. All the best!

@@OnlineExodontia thanks for the answer! Is it also normal for the side of the gum next to the hole to be white while it's healing? I've been brushing very gently over the socket as the dentist said to start but I still don't want to brush heavily or probe into the hole!

@@EtherealNectar Yes white tissue is all part of healing. All the best!

@@EtherealNectarafter how many days it looks normal? Because I aslo have the same problem, if you tell me I would be thankful to you 😢😢

The white eventually will turn to pink / red as the new tissue forms. I would agree with your dentist based on what you have described that as long as your symptoms are minimal you're on the path to healing well. All the best!

@@OnlineExodontia thank you so much!!!

Chill lady it had just been 2 days lol

@@magnusred2945 And now it's been six months, so the snark isn't exactly necessary.

@ssyy_xmu - I wouldn't be concerned. You're already past the point when dry socket typically occurs which is about 3-4 days postoperatively. Often times you can get some bleeding as you sleep and this ends up on your pillow. Indeed it could be a clot, but it likely wasn't the clot from within the socket. Hopefully that makes sense. All the best!

Sherry - thanks for the comment. I can only speculate as to the nature of what's going on, but it could be a couple things. Sometimes the sutures used are ones that dissolve and they are white/yellow looking. They tend to collect debris and would be located in the area you described at times. The other thing I often see if food getting impacted in the sockets. It stagnates and collects odorous bacteria that would create a foul smell and taste. Sometimes rinsing the sockets helps with this. Beyond that it's difficult to say. In the absence of pain or swelling I would suggest that you are likely healing okay. Make sure to follow-up with someone if your condition changes. All the best!

@@OnlineExodontia Hi Doc, you are right! I went for my wisdom tooth review today to remove my sutures, and my dentist mentioned that I just have to rinse a little harder and lightly brush the area. Thank you! :)

@@sheryl7361 not sure if you will see this. How did you see the clot when you were stitched up? I can’t see anything but my gums!!!

Certainly you could have some clot material come out of the socket. This doesn't necessarily mean that there is no longer a clot present or that you will have troubles with healing. Just keep an eye on it! All the best my friend!

Online Exodontia thank you I appreciate you getting back to me this helps a lot since I was so worried about getting a dry socket.

Juan Lozano hey I had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday and I’m having little pieces of blood clots come out as well. How did the rest of your recovery go? Did anymore come out??

@@darleneayala8887 to be completely honest I was scared of getting a dry socket after seeing a blood clot but the recovery actually went pretty well I just stopped doing what I would normally do for about a week so I can heal faster but if you don’t feel any pain I believe you should be good. Eat ice cream or yogurt it’ll help with swelling too

Nathan, smoking changes the physiology of your mouth (and body) so that it's not as vascular and is less able to repair itself effectively. Just because you smoke doesn't mean you'll get dry socket. I'm a bit late on this response so I assume you've already had at it haha. Maybe for next time though that can be useful. All the best my friend!

You'll be good to go Katja. Unless your surgeon advised you otherwise, you are typically okay to eat whatever you are comfortable eating at this point. If you were provided a syringe to irrigate the sockets, then use that in the evenings to keep the sites clear of food. All the best!

Did you ever find out if it was normal or food debris?

@@Ajmccallum92 it was food debris lol! Honestly if you’re in the same predicament just leave it alone, the food will naturally dislodge itself eventually

Thank you so much for this comment

It's possible that you have a dry socket. Intense radiating pain is a common symptom. Would be worth seeing your provider. All the best!

I didn't get stitches after my surgery 😔

Sherrod The God really?? How did the bleeding stop?

@@cryola787 I was wondering myself lol. It took like 5 to 6 weeks to heal completely but still feel a bit weird. I heard sutures might help speed up the process quicker

Sherrod The God wow that’s crazy! It’s been about a week and a half from my surgery and it’s almost healed now, I’m so curious as to why they didn’t give you stitches though, there had to of been a reason

@@cryola787 I don't know why either lol. I was going to sue but I was like "God can heal me so no worries" 😄

I didn’t even take the ibuprofen today, and I know it can’t be a dry socket as I’m sure I would be in way more pain

It’s better today but I notice it gets more sensitive when I try to vape. It’s day 6 so I thought it was fine to

I assume that you had both sides worked on? It's not unusual for one site to heal normally and the other to cause problems. If a site is free of food and debris that is great, however you can still encounter pain from other sources. I'd recommend following up with your dentist. All the best!

Online Exodontia hey yeah thanks for your response. Currently on day 19. My left side still gets a little sensitive at times and I can’t vape because it hurts/gets sensitive if I do

Even if I don’t vape it sometimes hurts, just surprised it still is almost 3 weeks in.

Sounds like it is normal Patricia. Depending where the colour change is, it could also be tissue sloughing off from the anesthetic which happens the odd time. Usually on the roof of the mouth moreso. all the best!

Hard to say Nia. Your dentist should be able to offer more insight. Might not hurt to stop the mouthrinse. Sometimes the back portion of our last molar is more exposed for a period of time during healing which can lead to sensitivity, but again each case is different and this may not pertain to your situation. All the best!

Omg stitched to your cheek? How did he manage that? Surely that's a negligence situation.

@@Dreamskater100 I don’t know but, it was my wisdom tooth and it was coming out a weird way. Somehow he stitched the bottom inside of my cheek with my loose gum. The pain wouldn’t go after 10 days until I cut it out myself

Dry socket

@@snizzywildtuff2419 Ooooooooh okay lmao

Dylan - this is totally normal! Sounds like you're healing properly. All the best!

Maybe u have a cavitation, did you manage to sort the problem.

@@claire_declared no. I think I had a reaction to the epinephrine in the anesthesia. A five day anxiety attack with serious pain in my upper right back.

Alondra - Hope all is going better today for you. What you have described sounds pretty normal. Sometimes the gauze isn't quite in the proper location and some blood leaks out and coagulates on the gauze. When you remove the gauze, it's not necessarily the clot from the socket that comes out with it. Sutureless third molar removal (especially upper third molars) is getting to be exceedingly common. These areas heal just as well without sutures. Your blood has stuff in it that acts like glue which immediately sticks the tissue down into place and that 'bond' becomes stronger the longer you're healing. the clot forms almost instantly (within minutes) and matures over the initial days of healing. This is why you're directed to avoid disturbing the extraction site or to avoid aggressive rinsing/spitting. All the best to you my friend!

At this point, dry socket would be quite unlikely. It usually sets in about 3-4 days following the extraction. Sounds normal to me, but if you are concerned you should contact your dentist.

Online Exodontia I just got mine take out 5 days ago and I see a hole with a little white spot around it and it kinda hurts but not excruciating. Do you think it’s a dry socket? And I had a blood clot on it but it disappears like day 3 I guess while I was sleeping

@@Jpd_30 That's a tough call on here to say what may be happening. Dry socket it pretty intense and most people experience significant pain that does not respond much to over the counter medications. If you have concerns it's best to give your dentist a shout. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

@@Jpd_30 did it turn out to be dry socket? Exact same thing is happening to me but it's been 2 days since the extractions

Jaimin Pak having the same thing 5 days after extraction. Like a white spot and I’m in pain. Drugs not helping

Jacqueline - this is pretty common as the sites can be sutured fairly tight. Generally you can find some access by sliding the tip down the back of your last lower molar. Know that you won't cause any major damage by attempting to rinse back there. I realize I was probably a bit late on this reply so I apologize and hope all has gone well for you since your post! Thanks for reaching out!

Glad things are going well! That's the best practice to flush the sockets as was directed by your dentist as this will help to keep the healing on track and hopefully minimize the chance for future issues. The socket will actually begin to heal from the bottom upwards or in the case of a situation where the clot has been lost, the socket granulates over meaning that tissue grows from the edges down into the socket to cover it over. Either way it sounds like things are going well for you so I wouldn't sweat it! It can take months in some cases for the bone to completely smooth out back there where the lower wisdom teeth are. All the best!

Same ! I’m on day 6 though

False.

Yeah I just had my pulled a week ago, I ate normally the next day.

I ate two pupusas & a Tamale ( I'm on day 6)

Thanks for reaching out to me! In most cases, the answer is yes. Your dentist did the right thing by removing the offending tooth (source of infection) and they supported that with antibiotics. You should heal totally normal assuming that you're relatively healthy with no underlying conditions / medications that could impair the healing. All the best to you!

@@OnlineExodontia Thank you so much for your advice it is much appreciated, my mind has been put at rest and you have another subscriber.

I had a lower bottom tooth removed yesterday. My jaw is still swollen and I'm having some pain is this normal

@@lorettajent It could be normal depending on the situation. A difficult extraction that is perhaps prolonged with an incision and bone removal around the tooth could result in swelling. It would be normal for this to peak around 48-72 hours. If the tooth was infected at the time of removal, it could be possible that you need the support of antibiotics for healing. I would have to defer to your dentist on this as they will know the history better than I. All the best to you!

@@nickandriulli3796 Hope it stopped and you healed well love x

That's hard to say Iretiola. I recommend following up with your dentist. Speech issues can be a sign of infection, although it's hard to know with the information provided. If everything heals normally, you're about 4-5 weeks for significant healing to be complete. It can take several months for the site to completely fill in with bone (2-3). Pain generally shouldn't be present for more than 7 days.

I just got mine removed too but I wanted to check on it so I put my phone flashlight in my mouth to look and I see what I’m guessing was pus and old food particles mixed with blood(gross Ik)that got stuck in my gums before the extraction. So I scraped it out wit toothpicks and qtips and bro that shit was stinkyyy I couldn’t believe it was in my mouth after I got all I could out I brushed and used mouthwash and my mouth taste a lot fresher I plan on doing this until I find no more particles in thee socket

Mark - you can brush any time you're comfortable doing so. Gentle salt water rinsing is okay too. The big concern would be in the first 24 hours or so in terms of not disturbing the clot. Hopefully all is well now, sorry for the late reply!

Yessir

Yesss siirr

Hard to say Trisha. It's possible for bone grafting to come out from a socket. Usually you would know as it may be a bit gritty feeling in your mouth from time to time. Regardless, it's rarely necessary to graft 3rd molar sites and this isn't routinely done (not aware of your situation in particular of course), but that site will fill with bone over time on its own. Hopefully that helps?

Yellowish stuff on sutures is generally plaque and debris. Also the sutures themselves can be somewhat yellow if the surgeon used a gut suture. They tend to swell over time and can look a bit like a food particle where the knot is.

You're at the perfect stage to start flushing those sockets and it is very possible that there is just some food that has accumulated which is starting contribute to the taste you're experiencing. Even though the gums often look to be fairly closed up at this point during healing, you have to remember there is a significant defect in the bone under the tissue where things can collect. All the best to you!

Im haveing the same problem. I have a gross eggish taste in my mouth that effects everything i eat But idk if its dry socket or not. Im only on day 4 but the taste is pretty strong.

Christian - most likely bruising from the removal of the teeth. The gums in many wisdom tooth cases are cut open to reveal / expose the tooth. When this happens it creates a space for blood to get under the tissues into potential spaces (kind of like deflated balloons in your face and neck if you think of it that way). Once the blood starts to break down, you will see some pigmentation through the skin. Often purple, green, or yellow depending on the stage of resorption of the blood. Hope that helps!

Online Exodontia Thank you so much! I was starting to get worried about it. I feel so much better in knowing the information behind it. God bless you Dr!

This can take several weeks to fully cover over. In about 6 weeks most of the visible healing will have taken place. All the best!

A couple weeks would be great. In reality you could do this sooner, but I would just be a bit careful to stay clear of the extraction site. All the best!

@@OnlineExodontia hi, I got my wisdom tooth removed two days ago but the clot is really big and forms continuously, is this normal?

@@jeanettenyanjom258 Check out my video on liver clots. That sounds like what you may be experiencing. All the best!

Yes, that's a normal occurrence and it should rectify itself with time. You'll need to keep it clean. It's like a secret trap door that you don't always even see until you pull back the tissue flap! What happens is when the incision is made to expose the impacted teeth, the surgeon actually cuts the gum in that area to take some tension off the tissue as they pull it back. It's not always sutured back together as that's not necessary, but occasionally that flap becomes mobile and heals a bit different as you have described. Again, it'll go away with time. All the best!

Online Exodontia Thank you so much! I tried contacting the office today and they said they’d get back to me but they never did. Thanks for the reassurance!

You're fine to brush normally now and will not harm the area by doing so. A syringe is nice, but not essential, just do you best to keep it clean back there. Pain may or may not be normal and is hard to say without knowing much about your exact situation, etc. If you're concerned I would reach out to your provider and let them know. All the best!

Doesn't sound good! Should probably check in with your dentist! All the best!

Certainly not out of the question, however at this point it may be best to follow-up with your provider to have them take a look. All the best!

New tissue should for in 10-14 days. You did the right thing. Often this bone is thin in that area and it can sometimes poke through the tissue following an extraction. As long as the irritation has been removed, your discomfort should fade away within a couple days. All the best!

@@OnlineExodontia hi, the irritation is still there causing a stinging sensation. But i guess I only had tooth grinded yday, so hopefully the pain should subside by Friday. I very much appreciate youre response. Thanks and Best regards

The usual bleeding time is 2-10 minutes when someone gets a cut. It's not uncommon for an extraction site to 'ooze' for 8 hours and it could even do that for 24 hours. As long as the gauze is just tinged pink and not dripping wet and bright red saturated with blood you should be good. Often just another ten minutes of good gauze pressure biting down on the area is enough to stop the bleeding. Thanks for the question!

We see this every day and yes extractions can still be done. There are rarely any complications and the treatment an opening to the sinus is generally fairly straightforward to do should this happen (which it rarely does). All the best!
